OBX Headers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Smoky10 · 01-13-2011, 03:15 PM

I have a question to ask all the people that are bashing the OBX headers. And I may regret asking this. But can you tell me one story about a person with a 5th Gen Camaro getting a raw deal? I don't want to hear anyone's opinion on how they are a knock off, or how they are made over seas. I'm only asking if anyone has had a bad experience with them on there 2010/11 Camaro's.

I havent heard of any issues with them on a 5th gen. But a quick google search will find tons of people with 4th gens or some Hemis that have some pretty serious problems......this thread will get ugly fast.

Not being rude, but that's why I asked specifically about the 5th Gen's.

I hope not! There are lots of folks who could benefit for the technical merits of these post.

That's why I wanted to ask. Cause people keep hating on them, but everyone that I've talked to that has them is nothing but happy with them.

Just curious if you honestly expected a reply from drivers who have had this car no longer than 1-2 years? I have no vested interest in bashing or supporting this brand, so I really could careless if it is on anyone else's vehicle.

The quality complaints that you have seen from some vendors may not become quite as consistent until you start to reach a higher mileage range.

Like one poster said, some of the issues were not as often quality, but customer service and assistance as well. If a company refuses to provide reimbursement or even replacement if they just don't fit.. why bother?

If you HONESTLY believed they were the equal quality, why would you need to start this thread? Not bashing you, just curious is all...

They had great customer service for me. Headers came dented and they replaced them free of charge and paid the return shipping. Even shipped out the second set before they received the dented ones because I asked them to.
